What it is? Or Isn’t?

What love is…Is joy inside
Hearts so full of hope and faith
Longing to give from the soul
Gentleness, kindness, whispers of warmth

I collapsed on my twin size collegiate bed
With my head in my hands

Closer now we inch to peek
Our face pressed to the window pane
Reach out? We won't, just gaze oblique
A fool's attempt to ascertain
A solid veil through which we see
and yet through which we will not pass

     Between "Yes!" and "No!"

the bite of chicken wire deep into the skin upon my throat.

A self-assured progressive projectile
Locked on its target like a heat seeking missile
Confident, a smile all the while
